Description

The equilibrium factor (F) between radon and its progeny had been determined using surface barrier detector, CR-39 solid state nuclear track detector and activated charcoal canister installed in large volume radon chamber semulinusly. Effect of environmental conditions on (F) value was also investigated. A comparison between different values of (F) shows that the values obtained by CR-39 and those obtained by SBD are in coherent agreement and are sensitive to the variation of environmental conditions. However F values obtained by activated charcoal canister was higher than those obtain by surface barrier detector and CR-39 by a constant factor. Radon equivalent dose calculated by different techniques are in agreement. (author)
